 AB    Standard serologic tests for human immunodeficiency (HIV)-specific
       antibodies are difficult to interpret in young infants born at risk for
       HIV infection owing to transplacentally acquired maternal IgG. This
       article reviews the treatment advantages of early diagnosis of HIV
       infection, the indications for HIV testing in children, the general
       principles and use of individual HIV assays, and an idealized evaluation
       schedule for infants born at risk for HIV infection.
